Pin your most-used apps to a large-target grid on the home screen. Tap the "Add" tile to drop any installed app into a slot. Full-colour icons stay instantly recognisable, even at arm's length.

🔎 FULL APP DRAWER WITH SEARCH
Swipe to open the complete app drawer and find anything fast with live search-as-you-type. Big tap targets and an auto-fitting grid make it effortless on the move.

🎵 NOW PLAYING MUSIC CONTROLS
See album art, track title and artist from Spotify, Bluetooth audio or any media app. Driver-sized previous / play-pause / next buttons, a Bluetooth indicator, and a one-tap rescan keep your music under control without fumbling.

🎧 SMART FLOATING MUSIC WIDGET
Keep music controls on screen even inside maps or other apps with an optional floating mini-player. Drag it anywhere that suits you — and Pure Dash remembers exactly where you placed it, bringing it back in the same spot next time.

🧭 SMART DOCK
Always-on shortcuts for Home, Bluetooth, Voice assistant, App Drawer, Navigation and Settings. Point the Navigation and Voice buttons at your preferred maps and assistant apps.

📍 GPS SPEEDOMETER
A live, GPS-fed speed readout beside the clock, with a clean km/h ↔ mph toggle. It hides itself automatically on devices without GPS.

🎨 MAKE IT YOURS
• Four themes: Dark, Light, Sports (carbon texture + accent frame) and Photo (your own wallpaper behind translucent cards)
• Accent colour picker that recolours the whole launcher — highlights, speedometer, controls and sliders
• Add your own car logo beside the clock
• Swap the Quick Apps grid to the left or right to match your screen

🌗 AUTO BRIGHTNESS, DAY & NIGHT
Set separate day and night brightness levels and let Pure Dash switch automatically using GPS sunrise and sunset times — easy on your eyes after dark, clear in daylight. A manual slider is always there too.

🛠️ SYSTEM AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Pin system apps like Themes, Sound Mixer, Car Settings, Display or Equalizer. Open Android Settings in one tap, restart from the built-in power button, and keep an eye on live memory and storage usage.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Analytics are anonymous and opt-out — no app names, searches or locations. Crash reporting is opt-out too. Everything is transparent, and optional features stay off until you turn them on.

Whether you've got an aftermarket Android head unit, a car stereo, or a factory screen you wish worked better, Pure Dash Car Launcher gives you a faster, cleaner, more beautiful home screen for the road.
